Chapter 784 - 780: Creation Jade Butterfly Refines True Essence

Chapter 784: Chapter 780: Creation Jade Butterfly Refines True Essence

At first, the Chaos True Essence was like a trickling stream, but it immediately became torrential.

The Chaos True Essence, converted from an endless supply of energy, was exceptionally violent. Even though Lin Hao’s meridians had been expanded, they still couldn’t withstand the impact.

Fortunately, his strength at the Sealed Martial Realm Ninth Layer and his understanding of the martial dao gave Lin Hao methods far beyond those of an ordinary person.

Lin Hao broke down the endless True Essence, sending it piercing through the endless void to entwine distant planets.

The devouring power of the Black Hole Space intensified. The True Essence coiled around planets like silken threads, and deep in the void, planets began to shatter.

Lin Hao’s body suddenly plummeted, but the endless Chaos True Essence within him allowed him to probe even deeper into the void.

Once again, Lin Hao stabilized his body.

However, this was only temporary. If he couldn’t escape the Black Hole Space, his body would be torn apart by the sheer immensity of the Chaos True Essence, even if he wasn’t devoured first.

Just then, the Creation Jade Butterfly in Lin Hao’s Dantian stirred.

Like a behemoth rousing from a slumber of millions of years, it began to devour all the endless energy.

Instantly, Lin Hao’s body became desiccated.

It had devoured every last bit of True Essence in his body!

In the depths of the void, the countless planets Lin Hao had entwined with his Chaos True Essence all shattered in that same instant.

SWOOSH!

Immediately after, Lin Hao’s body vanished directly into the Black Hole Space.

In the distance, the Kan Long Crown Prince was overjoyed.

A moment ago, he had keenly sensed something was amiss. But before he could react, he saw Lin Hao’s body desiccate and then get sucked into the Black Hole Space.

These were the telltale signs of being devoured.

But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

He hadn’t sensed any increase in his own energy.

Realizing something was wrong, the Kan Long Crown Prince’s first instinct was to collapse the black hole and completely devour Lin Hao.

But he discovered that the Black Hole Space was no longer under his control.

It was the Life Secret Skill of his Sun-Devouring Emperor Body, yet it had broken free from his command. Such a thing was unheard of.

’What is happening?!’ The Kan Long Crown Prince was horrified. His mind raced as he frantically tried to activate his Secret Skill, but not only did the Black Hole Space refuse to close, it became even more terrifying.

Across the endless void, countless forms of energy were being devoured, and even the Kan Long Crown Prince himself felt its powerful pull.

This devouring force made his heart race with fear, despite him possessing the Sun-Devouring Emperor Body.

At this moment, he had only one thought: ’Flee!’

He had to escape this region, get as far away as possible, or he would be devoured by the very Black Hole Space he had manifested.

With this thought, the Kan Long Crown Prince violently severed his connection to the Black Hole Space as his figure vanished.

Just then, the patch of void where he had been standing collapsed, devoured by the Black Hole Space.

The Kan Long Crown Prince tore through the void and reappeared in the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm.

Then, something even more terrifying happened.

He had torn through the void at extreme speed, and the rift should have closed immediately behind him. But now, a force was pulling energy from the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm through that very same tear in space.

The force was coming from the Black Hole Space!

The Kan Long Crown Prince was aghast. If he didn’t close this rift and allowed the devouring to continue, the entire Kan Long Dynasty would be in jeopardy.

Just then, an old man appeared beside the Kan Long Crown Prince.

The old man, with his white hair and beard, was the very same person who had watched the battle between Lin Hao and Zhu Jian with the Kan Long Crown Prince.

The old man acted at once. Runic patterns appeared in his right palm, shrouding the tear in the void as he attempted to repair it.

This was a task akin to mending the heavens themselves.

But the power surging from the tear was bizarrely potent. As the old man’s runic patterns sank into the rift, they only made it wider.

The old man’s eyes flew wide as he moved both hands in unison.

Endless runic patterns poured from his hands, weaving into a great net that flew to cover the spatial rift.

And that wasn’t all. After casting the runic net, the old man made a grasping motion, and primordial energy actually solidified into a shield.

He deployed the Primordial Energy Shield, using it along with the runic net to patch the tear in the void.

In this manner, the old man had to manifest more than ten runic nets and Primordial Energy Shields before he finally repaired the spatial rift.

"COUGH, COUGH..."

After he was done, the old man coughed up blood.

He was already injured, and the recent exertion had been immense.

"Thank you for your help, Imperial Great-Grandfather. The consequences would have been unimaginable otherwise," the Kan Long Crown Prince said, sighing in relief.

"Kan, what happened?" the old man asked.

A flicker of confusion crossed the Kan Long Crown Prince’s eyes. Even now, he had no idea why this had happened.

’Lin Hao was clearly devoured, so why did the Black Hole Space suddenly spiral out of control?’

He felt an impulse to tear open the void right then and there to uncover the truth.

But he knew it was a fool’s errand. Just a thought.

His Imperial Great-Grandfather was considered the most brilliant genius in the history of the Kan Long Dynasty. After entering the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm, he had broken through from the Sealed Martial Realm Seventh Layer to the Yin-Yang Realm in a mere three months.

Even someone that powerful had nearly failed to seal the spatial rift. If he himself were to go in, he would surely be devoured by the Black Hole Space.

"I don’t know why. After I manifested my Original Secret Skill, I lost control of it." Pushing the thought from his mind, the Kan Long Crown Prince answered respectfully.

The old man frowned, and then his eyes began to shine with a brilliant light as he stared into the void, as if he could pierce its depths.

"The void... it’s undergoing a strange transformation," he said after a moment.

"I must restore my cultivation immediately. If this anomaly in the void continues, the Demon Venerable will likely become aware of it."

Before his voice had even faded, the old man was gone.

The Kan Long Crown Prince stood stunned for a moment, then cursed, "Damn you, Lin Hao!"

If the Demon Venerable were to appear, it would be a catastrophe for the Kan Long Dynasty.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao wasn’t dead, but he wasn’t far from it.

Lin Hao was inside the Black Hole Space, his body like a fallen leaf caught in a gale, in danger of being torn to shreds at any moment.

Fortunately, his meridians had been forged by the Creation Jade Butterfly and were thus closely connected to it. As the Creation Jade Butterfly frantically absorbed energy, his meridians were also being nourished and reaping the benefits.

Lin Hao discovered that after the Creation Jade Disc absorbed the endless energy, it began refining it into a special kind of True Essence.

This True Essence was even more formidable than his current Chaos True Essence.

To be precise, it was also Chaos True Essence, only far more refined.

However, most of this incredibly refined Chaos True Essence became fuel for the Creation Jade Disc itself; only a minuscule portion was used to nourish his meridians.

But even this tiny fraction was immensely beneficial to Lin Hao.

Although his body was still desiccated, thanks to the nourishment of this new True Essence, he was miraculously not being torn apart within the Black Hole Space.

Lin Hao knew what he had to do.

He immediately activated his new Overlord Body Cultivation Technique, intending to fight the Creation Jade Butterfly for a share of the energy.

It was a mad gamble, but thanks to the connection between the Creation Jade Butterfly and his meridians, Lin Hao actually succeeded. At first, the amount of True Essence he could divert was no more than a single thread.

The Black Hole Space was filled with violent energies that could likely tear apart even Martial Artists of the Yin-Yang Realm or the Small Nirvana Realm. Yet here was Lin Hao, absorbing the Chaos True Essence being refined by the Creation Jade Butterfly.

As time passed, Lin Hao’s previously desiccated body slowly began to fill out again.
